Benadryl Allergy Liquid Release - Pack of 7 Capsules

Product Information

People with kidney problems. A lower dose of cetirizine is often needed for people with kidney problems and Benadryl capsules cannot be split to achieve this. Other cetirizine products may be suitable - ask your doctor. The steady - state peak plasma concentrations is approximately 300 ng/ml and is achieved within 1.0 ± 0.5 h. No accumulation is observed for cetirizine following daily doses of 10 mg for 10 days. The distribution of pharmacokinetic parameters such as peak plasma concentration (C max) and area under curve (AUC), is unimodal in human volunteers.

The apparent volume of distribution is 0.50 l/kg. Plasma protein binding of cetirizine is 93 ± 0.3 %. Cetirizine does not modify the protein binding of warfarin.

Side Effects

In a placebo-controlled study, cetirizine given at the high daily dose of 60 mg for seven days did not cause statistically significant prolongation of QT interval. The extent of absorption of cetirizine is not reduced with food, although the rate of absorption is decreased. The extent of bioavailability is similar when cetirizine is given as solutions, capsules or tablets. Rare: hepatic function abnormal (increased transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, γ-GT and bilirubin) Women who are breastfeeding. Small amounts of cetirizine pass into breast milk, so if you're breastfeeding you should only take this medicine on the advice of your doctor. Antihistamines may oppose the effect of histamine (used to treat leukaemia) and are not recommended for people having this treatment. Antihistamines may also oppose the effect of betahistine (used to treat Ménière's disease) so this medicine is probably best avoided if you're taking betahistine.
